needs a transmission range sensor, solenoid pack, or maybe just a bad wire. should not cost more than $100-$200
good luck. at least it doesnt need a rebuild!

The first thing to do is have the computer scanned to see what codes have been set by the transmission computer. On the 94 Grand Voyager the computer connector is under the dash near the fuse box (blue connector) Hopefully, the problem is the output speed sensor, but the 94 did have history of internal transmission problems. You could try disconnecting the battery, counting to 30 and reconnecting it! This will clear the codes, and take the van out of limp in mode, until the next flaw resets a code!
If the van shifts OK after you reset the codes, the problem is in a sensor. If the van goes back into limp quickly, it is most likely internal problems.
Edit with additional information.
The 94 Caravan will not have a check engine light set by a transmission code, so the lack of the warning light is not applicable in this case!!

Second gear is the gear the transaxle is put into when the transaxle computer senses a problem. It is called limp home mode. It is a way for the vehicle to still move, but minimize further damage to itself. Second gear is also the gear you get when there is no power to the transaxle control module. These transmissions are notorious for internal mechanical problems that will cause this to happen. If this is the case, you will need to have it overhauled.

The most common cause forit is the output speed sensor gone bad (different from the VSS). The TPS would give a dead spot in the throttle, and keep the engine from revving up or gaining speed if it was going bad. Best is like most are saying to have a technician look at it and have them scan it for you to see what theproblem is but blindly guessing I would say the output speed sensor is bad.

To Music-
2nd gear is the limp home gear so I am not impressed at all with your voluminous patter.
To the questioner- don't go to his shop!
The others are fairly close- get it scannned as you should have a warning light on. They will know what to do from there.

Your 1994 Grand Voyager has tranny trouble and it is in limp mode. I hope that it is not serious.

your transmission is going into limp in mode which is second gear. it will have to be scanned to pinpoint the problem.(usually a sensor failure). A.S.E certified in trans repair..

it could have a bad shift solenoid in it,you,ll have to take it in to a good transmission shop to have it checked though,there's nothing you can do for it,other than have it repaired,today's transmissions are much more complicated than they used to be,a repair shop will know what to do for it,good luck with it.
